Mulholland Drive

Summary: Maravillosa
Review: Nada comparable al aporte cinematografico de LYnch al cine contemporaneo americano, quien sin lugar a dudas es uno de los directores mas creativos y billantes de ese Hollywood moderno que se estanco en los repetidos chichés y no produce nada mas que desperdicios para una sociedad consumista e inculta olvidandose de que el cine es un arte nuevo y sofisticado que todavia merece ser experimentado y recreado.
Lynch lo ha hecho, se ha atrevido ajugar con tiempos, sonidos, espacios, actores, situaciones de una manera fenomenal, cortes en donde ha dejado abiertas las opiniones a nuevas conclusiones y finales por conectar. Queda claro que Mulholand Drive merece una segunda y quizas una tercera revision para desenvolver muchos de los nudos y dialogos confusos que permanecen en la memoria del publico.Recuerden que el "silencio" es muy importante y que tres de las pistas mas interesantes para entender la pelicula aparecen antes de los creditos.
Excelente,

Summary: Awful DVD? No sir.
Review: Mulholland Dr. the movie stands for itself and makes the DVD in and of itself a must buy. However, there are no flaws in the actuall layout of the DVD. I'm sure it is the the period what Lynch himself wanted. Obviously, there is no commentary because Lynch does not like to reveal any of the mysteries behind this film. And as for the lack of chapters, I thought that was abosoloutley brilliant. I can jus imagine Lycnh saying, "Why are there chapters on DVDS" And some sap answering him, "So the viewer can jump scenes." I'm sure this appalled Lynch and wanted to make sure that the movie was watched from start to finish to ensure that the integrity was preserved.

Summary: One of the Best Films
Review: I am terribly sorry for all you people who don't like this film. It is brilliant. I will never tire of seeing it. It is truly atmospheric and makes perfect sense. The "beginning" of the film is actually 2 hours into it, when Diane awakes in her apartment. And yes, the "crux" of the film is in fact Diane's dream. We have all dreamt exactly as Diane did, so how can anyone deny the genius in Mulholland Drive?

Summary: i didnt understand it but i loved it
Review: I am a David Lynch fan and i think that this is his best and most confusing film yet. I am just 16 and when i first saw blue velvet i was only 12, it terified me but left me wanting more and that is the same with mulholand drive. Although i still have no clue what happened since it seemed the last quarter of the movie all of the characters changed names. I also have no idea what was with the strange thing/person in the ally who puts the cube in the bag. ...

Summary: Mulholand Drive ???????????????????
Review: The most confusing movie I have seen in my life. I did not get the point of this movie at all. When you rate a movie on here you must give a star amount, I only gave it a 2 because I did not understand it at all. If you like strange movies watch this.

Summary: BEST movie of 2001. DVD is a disappointment.
Review: This movie was the BEST of 2001. I saw it 3 times in the theatre and couldn't WAIT for the DVD to come out. The movie is beautiful visually and completely thought-stimulating.

HOWEVER... the DVD offers no special features and plays similarly to a VHS tape (no menu options, no chapter selection.) Of course, it's a must-have for any Lynch fan...

But remember Blue Velvet! (the original "special" edition had no special features, and next month a NEW special edition is coming out... loaded with features.)

Come on! Where's the director's commentary?!

For such an incredible movie, we expect more from the DVD...

Summary: Listen to your mother - a dietary fable.
Review: It may have taken him a while to come to a fully formed interpretation, but Sticky has emerged with a sound appreciation of the allegorical nature of Lynch's Mulholland Drive.

At its core, the film bears witness to the importance of proper eating habits - choosing food judiciously, chewing carefully, and digesting properly. Clearly the free-wheeling nightmare endured by Diane in the first half of the film is induced by the following chain of events:

- big session of sticky rice eating
- heavy session of wild jitterbugging!
- huge cat nap

There is a lesson for us all here...

Note to self: go easy on the dance floor.

Summary: I expected more
Review: Since others have described here in some details the plot developments of the story, I only have some comments about the creativity of this movie. Lynch follows in the footsteps of his Lost Highway and undermines the conventional chronological order of the plot, presenting us with pieces of a puzzle which are to be put together. Furthermore, the movie seems to desire to reflect reality as a dream-state which need not make sense logically, but should be felt (reminds me of his Twin Peaks).

Well, that's all find and good. The film is an artistic experiment, i.e., Lynch wants to stress that films allow us to perceive the world from one than one perspective. But that is something Lynch has been doing for a while and I don't see any advances here. The plot elements are very slim. He is rehashing common themes (e.g., unhappy director, the mob that controls the industry, women who endear themselves to the audience on the basis of their appearance - and did that one ever work, just read the reviews for this movie on this web site - Harring this and Harring that).

What bothers me about this movie the most is that you have to wait for an hour or two for the movie to put itself together. I don't mean that one has to wait two hours for all the pieces to fit. What I mean is that the first 1 2/2 is sub-par filmaking. The scenes are mostly meaningless on their, their feel acted as opposed to lived, and they are strangly surreal (I know this is the point but I am getting tired of being subjected to them only to wait for an hour for the filmaker to reward me for watching them). I dislike movies where you have to wait to be rewarded (and I had the same impression when I saw Sixth Sense, Cooky's Fortune and Gosford Park and was ready to walk about of the theater after an hour). It doesn't say anywhere that a movie that seeks to break presentational conventions does not have the responsibility to be interesting while it establishes its characters (look at Remains of the Day - it managed to built up character and tension and capture the viewer's attention throughout, I think). This complain of mine has really nothing to do with the patience or attention span of the viewer. I think that films are created for an audience. This audience wants to discover a new world. Conventional plot developments and actresses that deliver more with their looks than with the strength of their charater (I thought that was the case in Amelie too) do not create good movies. Was there anything endearing about any of them? Watts' performence was above the rest, but her character still had little appeal - even if she represents a typical actress or the victim of the L.A. scene, I still consider her character unremarkable.

While this movie isn't by far bad, I would expect better from Lynch - especially since he makes one every two years or so and certainly does not make movies for the mainstream. I can't think of any reason why I should recommand this movie to anyone but hardcore David Lynch fans.

Summary: MULLHOLLAND DRIVEBY!
Review: I had high expectations for this movie and was very disappointed. Too many questions as to the relevance of some scenes and their connection to the plot. Anyone who claims they perfectly understand this movie is lying to you. Amazing! All these geniuses cannot come up with a consistent understanding of what the hell is going on. Everyone is using their own imagination to interpret what HE OR SHE THINKS the director's intentions are. I don't care for David Lynch's style of direction. He intentionally throws in scenes and props to create confusion. Unlike most viewers, this causes me to lose interest. I love excellent movies that make you think like The Usual Suspects or Memento. Mullholland Drive is more annoying than clever. A really great movie should puzzle together to form an intense ending. This movie is very over rated with no chapter selection. I am very relieved that I did not purchase this. I did not find this film interesting enough for a second viewing to gain a better perspective. There are much better mind teasing suspense/thrillers to rent or watch.
